**SafeDAO Governance Analytics Report #2: May 2024** ![image](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/flex013/uploads/gnosis_safe/original/2X/d/dd47343f18f18cf1eecdc7661863eae452de97fc.jpeg) We’re excited to share with you the SafeDAO Governance Analytics Report for May 2024. This edition continues our commitment to enhancing transparency and informed decision-making within the SafeDAO community. **Key Findings:** 1. **Votable Supply and Voting Power Distribution:** - **Votable Supply Changes:** The votable supply slightly increased to approximately 334.4 million SAFE tokens from 331.9 million in April. This modest growth reflects ongoing adjustments in token distribution among stakeholders, highlighting the dynamic nature of the votable supply. - **Voting Power Distribution:** While the top 10 voters still control a significant portion of the total voting power at 51.37%, their share has slightly decreased, marking a positive step towards reducing power consolidation. Additionally, there’s an observable shift in voting power towards lower-tier voters, particularly in the 201-500 bracket, which saw the largest percentage growth in voting power. This adjustment indicates a more balanced distribution of voting power. 1. **Governance Metric Monitoring:** - **Participation Rate:** Dramatically decreased to 4.64% from April’s 20.41%. This significant drop highlights the need for strategies to re-engage the community and boost participation. - **Unique Voters:** Dropped sharply to 269 from 1,057 in April, emphasizing the reduced engagement in this month’s governance activities. - **Delegate Engagement:** May saw a decrease in active delegates alongside a small increase in inactive ones, indicating a shift towards reduced engagement within SafeDAO. 1. **Voter Dynamics:** - **Existing Voters:** Significant shifts observed; 24 voters increased their stake, while 76 decreased, including 30 dropping to zero, indicating a significant disengagement. - **New Voters:** 57 newcomers brought potential voting power of 20.9M SAFE tokens, possibly altering governance dynamics depending on their participation levels. 1. **Proposal Outcomes:** - **[SEP #25] Palmera Module:** Saw nearly unanimous support with minimal opposition, despite 21.31% abstaining over concerns about the audits funding request process. - **[SEP #26] Three-Part Research Series:** Also strongly supported, but highlighted the need for alternative funding strategies, as suggested by the 20.47% abstention rate. **Governance Impact and Strategic Implications:** This month’s report highlights the challenges of maintaining high participation and the importance of adapting strategies to improve community engagement more effectively. Enhancing mechanisms to onboard new participants and ensure robust governance remains a priority.

**SafeDAO Governance Analytics Report: September 2024** ![image](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/flex013/uploads/gnosis_safe/original/2X/1/118e17fd8730bb2b8b0a3e8bb1f5f0c70c154161.jpeg) We are pleased to present the SafeDAO Governance Analytics Report for September 2024. This month saw an influx of **9 proposals** , higher than usual, reflecting a growing governance activity within SafeDAO. This report continues our efforts to promote transparency and provide key insights that inform governance decision-making within the SafeDAO community. * * * ### Key Findings: ### **Votable Supply and Voting Power Distribution** - **Votable Supply Changes:** The votable supply of SAFE tokens decreased slightly to **335.47M** , down from **336.89M** in August, indicating minor adjustments in votable supply distribution among stakeholders. - **Voting Power Distribution:** * * * **Voting Participation Trend** - **Participation Rate:** In September 2024, the participation rate dropped to **3.27%** from **4.44%** in August, signaling a decline in voter engagement. This reversal of the previous month’s improvement highlights the need for ongoing efforts to strengthen community participation in governance. - **Unique Voters:** The number of unique voters increased to **240** from **163** in August, marking a modest rise of **47.24%**. While this is a positive shift, more efforts are required to broaden participation and involve more members in decision-making. - **Voting Power:** Average voting power per proposal dropped significantly to **11.00M SAFE** from **14.95M SAFE** in August, a **-26.39%** decline. This suggests that larger voting power participants were less active, indicating potential disengagement among high-influence voters. - **Delegate Participation:** Delegate participation saw a notable rise, with **41** delegates voting at least once, up from **27** in August, marking a **+52%** increase. - **New Voters:** The onboarding of new voters decreased, with only **13** new voters casting their first vote in September, down from **22** in August. This drop reflects a slowdown in fresh voter engagement within the SafeDAO governance process. * * * ### **Voter Dynamics** **Existing Voters:** Among existing voters, **24** increased their voting power, adding **4.083M SAFE** tokens, while **46** saw decreases, with **15** voters dropping to zero voting power, resulting in a total reduction of **7.958M SAFE** tokens. Notable examples include: - _[stablelab.eth](https://safedao.curiahub.xyz/voter/stablelab.eth)_: Voting power surged by **+1273%** , representing about 1.38% of the proposal quorum, strengthening their influence in SafeDAO governance. - _[governance.karpatkey.eth](https://safedao.curiahub.xyz/voter/governance.karpatkey.eth)_: Voting power increased by **+16.63%** , now representing 7.51% of the proposal quorum, further solidifying their influence in decision-making. **New Potential Voters:** September introduced **21 new potential voters** , collectively holding **3.252M SAFE** tokens. * * * ### **Delegate Status Shifts** - **Active Delegates:** Active delegates increased to **45** , up from **41** in August, indicating improved engagement in governance activities. - **Inactive Delegates:** The number of inactive delegates remained at **62** in both August and September 2024. - **Ghost Delegates:** Ghost delegates, those who have never voted, decreased slightly to **125** from **132** , signaling a positive trend toward re-engaging previously inactive participants. These shifts suggest positive momentum in delegate engagement, but continued efforts are necessary to sustain this participation and further reduce inactivity. * * * ### **Proposal Outcomes** 1. **[SEP 37] Contribution Efficiency System (CES) Extension - Areta** 2. **[SEP 38] Governance Accessibility and Participation Enhancement - StableLab** 3. **[SEP 39] Public API Development and Continuation of SafeDAO Governance Analytics** 4. **[SEP 40] Governance Cycle Amendments Season 3, Sprint 3** 5. **[SEP 41] Safe Ecosystem Roundups and Highlights by FinOps3** 6. **[SEP 42] Simulations and Report: Safings Accounts and Safe Vaults - Kolektivo Labs & Hopper Protocol** 7. **[SEP 43] ZK Email Account Recovery** 8. **[SEP 44] Creating SafeDAO’s First Revenue Stream - Community-Aligned Fees** 9. **[SEP 45] Implementation of Transition Period for Committees and Councils Structure** * * * ### **Governance Impact and Strategic Implications** In September, SafeDAO saw an influx of proposals, with 9 proposals voted on. However, voter participation remained low, reflecting a broader challenge in sustaining engagement. While most proposals met quorum, SEP 38, SEP 40 and SEP 41 fell short due to insufficient participation.The reduction in voting power participation from high-influence voters further highlights the need to re-engage more delegates and voters. Moving forward, SafeDAO must prioritize strategies to address low turnout, foster broader participation, and activate both new and existing delegates to ensure a more balanced and inclusive governance process. * * * For a detailed breakdown and insights, you can view the full report here: [SafeDAO Governance Analytics Report: September 2024](https://lookerstudio.google.com/reporting/4bb74117-877b-4f03-bcb2-c8cfa9ce04e7).

**SafeDAO Governance Analytics Report: October 2024** ![image](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/flex013/uploads/gnosis_safe/original/2X/8/8d20426400c06a897d5ddc2358f76b8bcafa25aa.jpeg) This month’s report captures the unique circumstances of SafeDAO’s governance activity, as the transition period for the Committees and Councils structure has paused new OBRA proposals. While the metrics reflect this temporary lull, the ongoing data offers insights into voting power shifts and delegate status, setting the stage for renewed engagement when governance resumes. * * * ### Key Findings: * * * ### **Votable Supply and Voting Power Distribution** - **Votable Supply Changes:** The votable supply of SAFE tokens increased significantly to **366.12M** , up from **335.47M** in September, suggesting heightened token activity or delegation as the transition phase progresses. - **Voting Power Distribution:** ![Screenshot 2567-11-04 at 13.38.41](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/flex013/uploads/gnosis_safe/original/2X/d/df38fe7f7f726ee4dd6c4f0c39b50747fe36b9dc.png) In October 2024, the top 10 voters saw a marked increase in their share, now controlling **53.96%** of the total voting power, up from **50.96%** in September. This shift highlights a significant consolidation among the top voters, with their voting power increasing by **15.54%**. The top 11-50 voters observed a minor increase of **+1.60%** , while the top 51-200 and 201-500 voters experienced rises of **+4.30%** and **+3.02%** , respectively. Meanwhile, the top 501-1000 tier showed a slight decrease of **-0.88%** , reflecting a small reduction in influence among this group. These changes reveal a concentration at the top and growth in the middle tiers, showcasing the evolving distribution of influence within SafeDAO. * * * ### **Voting Participation Trend** Due to the lack of proposals in October, no data was recorded across standard participation metrics, such as Participation Rate, Unique Voters, Voting Power, Delegate Participation, and New Voters. These metrics are expected to resume as new proposals are introduced, allowing for an assessment of any shifts in engagement. * * * ### **Voter Dynamics** **Existing Voters:** An examination of voting power shifts among existing voters in October saw notable changes: - **Increases:** **21** voters collectively added **6.803M SAFE** tokens. Notable examples: - **Decreases:** **90** voters saw reductions totaling **23.481M SAFE** tokens, with **32** dropping to zero voting power. Examples include: **New Potential Voters:** In October, **40 new potential voters** entered SafeDAO, holding a combined **36.441M SAFE** tokens. This influx, potentially influenced by the recent SAFE listing on Upbit, expands the voter base and presents new opportunities for governance engagement. * * * ### **Delegate Status Shifts** - **Active Delegates:** The count of active delegates remained stable at **45**. - **Inactive Delegates:** Inactive delegates also remained steady at **62**. - **Ghost Delegates:** The number of ghost delegates decreased from **125** in September to **122** in October. These stable figures indicate a consistent core of engaged delegates, with room for continued efforts to mobilize inactive and ghost delegates as governance activity resumes. * * * ### **Proposal Outcome** There were no proposals in October 2024 as SafeDAO implemented the Transition Period for its Committees and Councils structure, temporarily pausing new OBRA proposals. This restructuring is anticipated to enhance governance processes, and proposal activity is expected to resume once the transition is complete. * * * ### **Governance Impact and Strategic Implications** In October, the consolidation of voting power among top participants and stable engagement metrics reflect a core of committed voters awaiting resumed governance activities. SafeDAO’s transition phase emphasizes the need to maintain readiness among delegates and foster broader participation when proposal activity recommences. As new governance processes emerge, encouraging broader voter and delegate involvement will be key to fostering a dynamic and inclusive governance environment. * * * For a detailed breakdown and insights, you can view the full report here: [SafeDAO Governance Analytics Report: October 2024](https://lookerstudio.google.com/reporting/ad7656f1-e5df-4d80-98b4-0f6458bda17b). ---

This month saw the continuation of **3 proposals** , reflecting ongoing governance activity. This report highlights key metrics and insights to promote transparency and support informed governance within the SafeDAO community. * * * ### Key Findings: ### **Votable Supply and Voting Power Distribution** - **Votable Supply Changes:** The votable supply of SAFE tokens increased to **376.06M** , up from **366.12M** in October, reflecting a growth of **+9.95M SAFE (+2.72%)**. This steady rise highlights increased token activation and delegation activity within the SafeDAO ecosystem. - **Voting Power Distribution:** ![Screenshot 2567-12-11 at 11.32.28](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/flex013/uploads/gnosis_safe/original/2X/8/884b9ab600c47144fff19e7f60ca9bb4b32f6a0d.png) In November 2024, the top 10 voters controlled **52.63%** of the total voting power, up slightly from **52.11%** in October. The top 11-50 voters saw a significant increase of **+9.12%** , while the top 51-200 voters experienced a minor decrease of **-0.32%**. Modest growth was recorded among the top 201-500 voters ( **+0.99%** ) and the top 501-1000 voters ( **+0.25%** ). These changes reflect a consolidation of power at the top, coupled with incremental growth in the middle and lower tiers. * * * ### **Voting Participation Trend** - **Participation Rate:** Participation rose marginally to **3.32%** , up from **3.27%** in September, indicating stable engagement among voters but underscoring the need for broader involvement. - **Unique Voters:** Unique voters dropped to **157** , down from **240** in September, a significant decline of **-34.58%** , highlighting the need for re-engagement efforts. - **Voting Power:** Average voting power per proposal increased to **12.51M SAFE** , up from **11.00M SAFE** in September, marking a rise of **+13.68%** , suggesting concentrated participation among larger holders. - **Delegate Participation:** Delegate participation decreased to **32** , down from **41** in September, reflecting a **-22%** decline in active delegate engagement. - **New Voters:** The number of new voters casting their first vote decreased slightly to **12** , from **13** in September, signaling a decline in onboarding new participants. * * * ### **Voter Dynamics** **Existing Voters:** Among existing voters, **41** increased their voting power, adding **13.12M SAFE** tokens, while **55** experienced decreases, with **27** losing all voting power. This resulted in a total reduction of **14.81M SAFE** tokens. Notable examples include: - _[malikelbay.eth](https://safedao.curiahub.xyz/voter/malikelbay.eth)_: Voting power increased by **+41.71%** , now representing **2.55%** of the quorum. - _[evgeny.eth](https://safedao.curiahub.xyz/voter/evgeny.eth)_: Voting power decreased by **-18.07%** , now representing **4.96%** of the quorum. **New Potential Voters:** November introduced **29 new potential voters** , collectively holding **14.53M SAFE** tokens. This reflects steady diversification of the voter base, with the potential to influence governance if actively engaged. * * * ### **Delegate Status Shifts** - **Active Delegates:** Active delegates decreased to **36** , down from **45** in September, indicating reduced engagement among core participants. - **Inactive Delegates:** Inactive delegates rose to **70** , up from **62** in September, reflecting a trend of disengagement among previously active delegates. - **Ghost Delegates:** Ghost delegates decreased slightly to **120** , down from **122** in September, reflecting minimal progress in activating previously inactive delegates. These shifts underscore the need for targeted strategies to reactivate inactive delegates and sustain participation within SafeDAO. * * * ### **Proposal Outcomes** 1. **[SEP 46] Safe Boost on Gnosis Chain** 2. **[SEP 47] [OBRA] Lagoon by HopperLabs** 3. **[SEP 48] [OBRA] User-friendly Role Generation** * * * ### **Governance Impact and Strategic Implications** In November, SafeDAO faced low voter turnout, with participation metrics falling below category averages. Despite this, all proposals achieved strong consensus. SEP 46 saw moderate contention, while SEP 47 and SEP 48 garnered near-unanimous support. The steady growth in votable supply and the onboarding of new voters highlight opportunities for broader engagement. Moving forward, SafeDAO must prioritize strategies to re-engage inactive delegates, attract new voters, and sustain participation to ensure balanced and inclusive governance. * * * For a detailed breakdown and insights, you can view the full report here: [SafeDAO Governance Analytics Report: November 2024](https://lookerstudio.google.com/reporting/245cd4c7-cd17-4c80-ae3c-9f62ff1afafe). ---

This month saw the continuation of **4 proposals** , highlighting ongoing governance activity. The report focuses on key metrics and insights to enhance transparency and support informed decision-making within the SafeDAO community. * * * ### Key Findings: ### **Votable Supply and Voting Power Distribution** - **Votable Supply Changes:** The votable supply of SAFE tokens increased to **393.84M** , up from **376.06M** in November, reflecting a growth of **+17.78M SAFE (+4.73%)**. This rise indicates an expansion in the potential voting power available for governance participation. However, actual engagement remains a challenge. - **Voting Power Distribution:** * * * ### **Voting Participation Trend** - **Participation Rate:** The participation rate decreased slightly to **3.17%** , down from **3.32%** in November, reflecting a marginal decline of **-0.15%** , suggesting stable yet slightly waning voter engagement. - **Unique Voters:** Unique voters increased significantly to **201** , up from **157** in November (+28.03%). - **Voting Power:** Average voting power remained stable at **12.50M SAFE** , with a negligible change compared to November. The increase in unique voters alongside stable voting power suggests increased activity from smaller voting power participants. - **Delegate Participation:** Delegate participation slightly decreased to **30** , down from **32** in November (-6%), reflecting a minor reduction in delegate engagement. - **New Voters:** New voters dropped to **7** , down from **12** in November, highlighting a decline in onboarding new participants. * * * ### **Voter Dynamics** **Existing Voters:** Among existing voters, **31** increased their voting power by a total of **6.06M SAFE** tokens, while **59** experienced reductions totaling **11.06M SAFE** , including **30** voters who lost all voting power. Notable changes include: - _[governance.karpatkey.eth](https://safedao.curiahub.xyz/voter/governance.karpatkey.eth)_: Voting power increased by **+22.18%** , now representing **10.47%** of the quorum. - _[dennisonbertram.eth](https://safedao.curiahub.xyz/voter/dennisonbertram.eth)_: Voting power increased by **+12.66%** , now representing **10.97%** of the quorum. - _[evgeny.eth](https://safedao.curiahub.xyz/voter/evgeny.eth)_: Voting power decreased by **-11.17%** , now representing **4.41%** of the quorum. **New Potential Voters:** December introduced **43 new potential voters** , collectively holding **32.37M SAFE** tokens, reflecting an expanding voter base with the potential to influence governance decisions. * * * ### **Delegate Status Shifts:** - **Active Delegates:** Increased to **39** , up from **36** in November (+8.33%). - **Inactive Delegates:** Decreased to **67** , down from **70** in November (-4.29%). - **Ghost Delegates:** Decreased to **117** , down from **120** in November (-2.50%). * * * ### **Proposal Outcomes** 1. **[SEP 49] Introduction of Committee and Council Structure within Outcomes-Based Resource Allocation Framework (OBRA)** 2. **[SEP 50] Establishing a DAO Oversight Committee** 3. **[SEP 51] Develop and Integrate Ecosystem Vaults** 4. **[SEP 52] Contribution Efficiency System (CES) Bridge Extension** * * * ### **Governance Impact and Strategic Implications** December’s proposals showcased varying levels of voter engagement and alignment. SEP 49, SEP 51, and SEP 52 achieved strong support, reflecting consensus on key governance and operational initiatives. SEP 50 faced a divided voter base, failing to meet quorum despite majority backing. The increase in unique voters and broader voting power distribution indicate progress toward inclusivity, yet the decline in participation rate and challenges in meeting quorum highlight persistent engagement issues. SafeDAO must continue to mobilize inactive voters and sustain engagement among active participants to foster robust and inclusive governance.

**SafeDAO Governance Analytics Report: January 2025** ![image](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/flex013/uploads/gnosis_safe/original/2X/9/9606f216acb3c4b62970aa8a1e8f61ac836f8223.png) We are pleased to present the SafeDAO Governance Analytics Report for January 2025. This month’s report focuses on a single proposal, as we aim to provide the insights into voting participation, voter dynamics, and shifts in voting power distribution. While the limited proposal count means some metrics should be interpreted with caution, the data reveals key trends that will inform our ongoing efforts to strengthen SafeDAO governance. * * * ### **Voting Participation Trend** - **Participation Rate:** - **Unique Voters:** - **Voting Power:** - **Delegate Participation:** Only **27 delegates** cast at least one vote, continuing a downward trend from **30** in December 2024, **32** in November 2024, and **41** in September 2024. - **New Voters:** January welcomed **11 new voters** , up from **7** in December 2024. While this modest increase is encouraging, further efforts are needed to broaden community participation. * * * ### **Voter Dynamics** **Existing Voters:** An analysis of 78 existing voters in January 2025 reveals notable changes: - **Increases:** - **Decreases:** **New Potential Voters:** January introduced **38 new potential voters** , collectively holding **10.335M SAFE** tokens. Their addition diversifies the voter base and may significantly influence future governance outcomes. * * * ### **Delegate Status Shifts** ![image](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/flex013/uploads/gnosis_safe/original/2X/9/94c416bae206da44fb5989ae6ae63027adba1385.png) - **Active Delegates:** Increased to **40** in January 2025, up from **39** in December 2024 and **36** in November 2024. This gradual uptick suggests improving delegate engagement. - **Inactive Delegates:** Decreased slightly to **66** from **67** in December 2024, indicating a positive move towards re-engagement. - **Ghost Delegates:** Declined to **115** in January 2025 from **117** in December 2024, reinforcing the trend of improved delegate activity. These shifts underscore a slow but steady movement toward a more engaged delegate community, though continued focus on activation and retention remains essential. * * * ### **Proposal Outcome** 1. **[SEP 53] Governance Amendments Season 4, Sprint 4** - **Category:** Governance - **Overview:** This proposal seeks to amend the governance framework by removing the mandate that Sprint 4 is exclusively for governance reviews. The change will allow all four sprints in a season to process governance proposals of any type. - **Voter Participation:** **151 voters** participated, a figure below the average for governance proposals. - **Voting Power Cast:** A total of **16.654M SAFE** tokens were cast, with a participation rate of **4.32%**. - **Level of Contentiousness:** The proposal received overwhelming support: **99.76%** of voting power (16.6M SAFE tokens) was cast as “ACCEPT,” with only **0.07%** as “MAKE NO CHANGES” and **0.17%** as “ABSTAIN.” Unanimous backing from the top 20 voters underscores a strong consensus in favor of the amendments. **Implications:** Despite the lower number of unique voters, the near-unanimous approval by key stakeholders validates the proposal’s merits and highlights the need to continuously engage both influential and broader community participants in future governance decisions. * * * ### **Shifts in Voting Power Distribution** - **Votable Supply:** The votable supply remained stable at **393.84M SAFE** tokens, unchanged from December 2024. - **Voting Power Distribution:** * * * ### **Governance Impact and Strategic Implications** January 2025’s data—albeit from a single proposal—reveals a nuanced governance landscape. The increased participation rate and higher average voting power suggest that influential voters are actively engaging, even as overall unique voter numbers and delegate participation decline. The strong, near-unanimous support for [SEP 53] reinforces confidence in governance amendments while highlighting the need to further broaden community involvement. Moving forward, sustained efforts to activate new and inactive voting power, as well as maintain robust delegate participation, will be key to ensuring a vibrant and inclusive governance process.

**SafeDAO Governance Analytics Report: March 2025** ![image](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/flex013/uploads/gnosis_safe/original/2X/6/612e54c899bad0af30d00ada77bbd57d73f2b383.png) We are pleased to present the SafeDAO Governance Analytics Report for March 2025. This month, no proposals were voted on—meaning several participation metrics are not available. Nonetheless, our analysis highlights important shifts in voter dynamics and voting power distribution that continue to shape SafeDAO’s governance landscape. * * * ### **Voting Participation Trend** - **Participation Rate:** - **Unique Voters:** - **Voting Power:** - **Delegate Participation:** No delegates cast votes in March 2025, while January 2025 had **27 delegates** participating. - **New Voters:** The metric for new voters (those casting their first vote) is not applicable for March 2025. In January 2025, **11 new voters** participated. * * * ### **Voter Dynamics** **Existing Voters:** An examination of March 2025 reveals significant shifts among **91** existing voters: - **Increases:** **29 voters** increased their voting power, collectively adding **12.034M SAFE** tokens. - **Decreases:** **62 voters** experienced declines—with **28** losing all voting power—resulting in a total reduction of **38.767M SAFE** tokens. **New Potential Voters:** March 2025 introduced **30 new potential voters** , collectively holding **27.498M SAFE** tokens. Their entry further diversifies the voter base and increases the capacity for greater engagement in future governance processes. **Delegate Status Shifts:** ![image](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/flex013/uploads/gnosis_safe/original/2X/0/02837bc6d2614463f8523dbe384954d68dfbffd3.png) Since no proposals were voted on in March 2025, the delegate status metrics remain unchanged from February 2025. Continued monitoring and targeted initiatives will be essential to further enhance delegate engagement. * * * ### **Shifts in Voting Power Distribution** - **Votable Supply:** The votable supply increased modestly from **396.54M SAFE** tokens in February 2025 to **397.22M SAFE** tokens in March 2025—an absolute rise of approximately **677,888 SAFE** tokens (about **0.17%** growth). This slight expansion in the eligible token base suggests minor underlying shifts in token availability that may gradually influence voter engagement and governance dynamics. - **Voting Power Distribution:** - Top 1-10 voters increased their combined power from **199.16M** to **204.83M** SAFE tokens—an increase of approximately **5.67M** SAFE tokens (+2.85%)—representing about **51.58%** of the total based on the March votable supply. - Top 11-50 voters declined from **117.84M** to **113.99M** SAFE tokens (a decrease of about **3.85M** SAFE tokens, –3.27%), amounting to approximately **28.69%** of the total. - Top 51-200 group experienced a slight contraction, dropping from **60.99M** to **59.95M** SAFE tokens (a decrease of roughly **1.04M** SAFE tokens, –1.70%), representing around **15.10%** of the total. - Top 201-500 tier decreased from **13.32M** to **13.11M** SAFE tokens (a reduction of approximately **0.21M** SAFE tokens, –1.56%), accounting for about **3.30%** of the total. - Top 501-1000 tier saw a minor increase from **2.84M** to **2.92M** SAFE tokens (an increase of about **0.08M** SAFE tokens, +2.71%), representing roughly **0.73%** of the total. These changes indicate a slight consolidation of influence among the top 1-10 voters, accompanied by marginal declines in the mid-tier groups and minimal adjustments in the lower tiers. * * * ### **Governance Impact and Strategic Implications** Although March 2025 did not witness any proposal voting, the underlying data provides some insights. Not only was there a modest increase in the votable supply, but the observed shifts in voting power distribution—particularly the slight consolidation of influence among the top voters.
